Thank you for thinking of me! There was a similar train of thought last night on my way home. Thank you for posting this. It took me back to those thoughts.

That place was "safe" because the person in the place was safe. I'm hanging on to the belief that that safety will be found in the new place. He is actually taking all the pieces of his office to the new place, and recreating the space there. That feels good.

I actually feel so silly to be making such a big deal out of this. I can't seem to help it. It also doesn't help that compliance seems to be caught right smack in the middle of it.

I was hearing all last week, "Comply or pay the price." That by itself was not a good thing on top of everything else. We talked about that last night and I've decided to purposely change those words to:

"Be brave and make a choice that you want."

"Decide what is best for you."

"Cope with the change and press forward."

Those sound better and I like the wording much better! I'm open to any other suggestions.
